Wireless button stays orange. Will not turn on.

[Gungnir]

I made a thread but nobody answered so maybe I can get help in here. I have the orange wi-fi button problem, it goes out randomly. I have a HP Pavilion DV7-6134DX Product number: LW174UA#ABA with windows 7. I turned it off, took out the battery, and reset BIOS and it still goes out. Any help please?

Finally found the solution after 3 weeks.  Tried and manupulated all drivers and NIC lan card of my hp laptop dv6 7011tx.

UNINSTALL HP Quick Launch which caused the whole lot of problems and do the following 

- Shut down laptop

- Remove power cable & battery

- Press power switch for 30 sec

-  Attach power

- Power up laptop without battery

- Switch on wifi ---it works

- Now switch on the laptop with battery

HP quick launch describes itself as "

  Description

                    This package contains the HP Quick Launch Software, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, the HP Quick Launch Software enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. "

Note  :

                          This is the main problem.  I have found after seeing the internal working of this driver.  It caused the keys to work in its own described way thus overriding the wifi f12 button functionality to change from orange to white or white to orange.

                           After  and when restarting :

                                                       Put the computer to sleep and wake it up to find wifi on.

 (((((

                             On normal shutdown and booting:

                                                                   Wifi works perfectly.

Note to HP:

                       Please check the working of HP Quick Launch Software.  I could find its algorithm and functioning and its made to override the default windows 8 key designed for HP.

Give me kudos if it works. 

Give me kudos if it works. And mark it is a Solution.

Thank you all for support and help.

Is this forum still active for advice?

PROBLEM SOLVED: Have had off and on issues with HP Wireless Assistant not working. Tried to select Orange light on keyboard and would not change blue. Read all the forums advice and nothing worked. Finally was able to solve this by Selecting F10 upon rebooting. Once in that screen select F9 to Restore Defaults, then F10 Again to Save and Exit. The orange light turned blue once it was signed back on allowing me to get the wireless back on and back online. I realize this may not work for everyone, but try it and I hope it works for you. So frustating HP to have such an issue.
